OSX is pretty safe against such things, but "open" itself is not. I wouldn't

Oy. But given how Apple loves to arbitrarily break long standing UNIX APIs and
runtime behaviours, I am unsympathetic to their plight :-P

Launchpad mirrors a bunch of open-source projects into their own
VCS/bug-tracker/etc system. Right

Upon further thought, that may not mean anything either. Ooops.
Canonical is the company behind Ubuntu, which puts a user-friendly
gloss on the long-lived linux distro Deb

While this isn't a big deal personally, I will hazard

It's still used at MIT. I would guess that most other places thes
MacOSX uses Kerberos V, which typically includes a pretty useable krb4 legacy

I ducked out of the corporate world before I had to care about widespread
kerberos support from Microsoft, but a few seconds with google shows their

If memory serves, I coerced it into building once, prior to y2k, so I could try
it. Then I found that it didn't mix with `normal MH' and promp

It means that for example you can configure and build nmh in various
different ways without the generated object files conflicting with
each other. It's also nice if you're working with a CVS tree because
it means you're not creating lots of .o files in your CVS tree.
It also means that you ca

If you're willing to use fetchmail, you don't necessarily also need an
additional MTA installation -- just point fetchmail at slocal directly.
I used something like the following stanza in .fetchmailrc for years:
